We’re not wild about the Orlando’s exterior styling – it’s a little bit boxy (to our minds). Having said that, this is an MPV that warrants serious consideration – because it’s one of the most practical vehicles on our roads (and that’s far more important than good looks). The pièce de resistance is the seating arrangement – it’s theatrestyle, so all seven occupants have a brilliant view of the world going by. The second and third rows of seats can also be folded down, extending the cargo capacity to a cavernous 1 499 litres.

PRICE: From R265 900
